FACULTY OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS AND MARTIAL ARTS

The history of the faculty began with the department of taekwondo, created in 1999 on the initiative of the rector of KazAST, professor K.K. Zakiryanov, with the participation of one of the leading teachers of the Academy, the first honored trainer of the USSR in Kazakhstan, professor M.U. Hwana. 

The main stages of the formation of the faculty:

In the 1999-2000 academic year, the Department of Taekwondo was established. Then, on June 26, 2000, a self-supporting faculty of martial arts and martial arts was created, consisting of two departments.          From 2000 to August 2017, the Faculty was headed by the candidate of pedagogical sciences, associate professor Boldyrev Boris Naumovich. From 2004 to 2017, the deputy dean was – Raisa Anvarovna Adilbekova.          In 2001, in connection with the structural innovations of the academy, the structure of the faculty changed, which was named “Faculty of martial arts and martial arts”. It included three graduating departments – taekwondo, wrestling and national sports, as well as boxing and martial arts.

          At the beginning of January 2003, changes occurred in the structure of the faculty again. Based on the decision of the Academic Council dated December 27, 2002, in order to further optimize the work, the faculty was renamed the Faculty of Professional Sports and Martial Arts. The faculty included the following graduating departments: boxing, weightlifting and fencing, taekwondo and martial arts, wrestling and national sports.

         On June 15, 2020, in order to optimize the work of structural units, by order of the President of KazAST, the departments of “wrestling” and “national sports” were merged.
